Killzone 2 on G4TV

[Corris Veteran]

You should find somewhere that auto thumbnails pictures, then you could psot as many as your heart desired, which I would assume is a lot. :p

Definitely one of the best looking console games shown so far, and nice to see they have got the streaming system for the loading all worked out.

Will be interesting to see how long the load times are beforehand.

Number 3 screenshot looks great, rest is just black with some lightning and a few shades of grey and green.

Gotta download a few videos soon.

Yes, yes, you do ;)

Actually it's not fully in place it seems, as you get the small 1-2 second loading pauses (HL2 style loading).

They said at GDC those wouldn't exist in the full game.

Best console FPS I've seen yet. I never beat killzone 1, got too boring but is it worth playing through the whole thing?

This supposedly done the rounds to the journalists

For all those asking about the voices, this is supposedly from a PDF that was sent with the preview build to reviewers:

Known Issues

As Killzone2 is work-in-progress and still needs to go through Quality Assurance, the

Killzone 2 Single Player Preview Code does not accurately represent the final retail copy

of Killzone 2. These elements will be remedied for the final Game. Game elements which

are still under development may have been omitted or included in an un-optimized,

placeholder state. These include the following elements:

- Game Intro cinematic, in which the backstory is further explained, is not yet

available.

- Front/end menu designs are placeholder and will be replaced.

- Loading screen content missing. This will display various elements such as

gameplay tactics as well as background on the main cast.

- Dialog / Voice acting - The voice samples for both the Buddies and Helghast are

place holder.

- Cut-scenes have not gone through final polish in visual effects, sound effect,

facial animations and syncing voices

- Several Character Animation glitches can be spotted, most noticeably during

transitions.

- In some rare cases enemies or buddies can create progression issues. Try

Restart Checkpoint from the Pause menu to continue.

- Pay attention to the buddy and objectives in cases where the Direction finder (dpad

UP) system isn?t implemented correctly yet.

- Volume balancing for sound effects, music and voices has not been completed

for this version, resulting in louder than normal speech or sound effects as well

as audio cutting out. Suggested setting in the Options / Sound menu:

music=100%, speech=80%, sound effects=70%

- Brightness settings are not yet balanced for all screens - The option menu has a

brightness setting that can be adjusted to overcome overly dark areas.

- Ragdoll issues might occur when many explosions are triggered.

- The Lighting setup of the Suljeva Village mission is unfinished.

Also, anyone near London

Win tickets to see Aliens, play Killzone 2Sony wants to take you to the cinema this evening to watch Aliens and then to play the latest build of PS3 big-gun Killzone 2. That's very kind, especially seeing as 35 pairs of tickets are being given away for free.

The event takes place from 6pm at the VUE cinema in Leicester Square, London. "Real" Helghast soldiers will be marching around to add a bit of drama, and they will be posing for photos and not actually shooting people or repelling invasions.

To win a pair of tickets you'll need to be over 18 and available this evening. Just register on the Killzone website and then email Sony, providing your name, address and contact number. Jokes may or may not be tolerated; we're not suggesting anything.

Names will then be whisked out of a magical Harry Potter hat at 4pm, when the entries close. Winners will be notified in good time. Oh, and travel expenses will not be covered.

The film, which doesn't feature Sigourney Weaver in her underpants but we wish it did, starts at 6pm. The Killzone 2 pods will be in the bar area. Lovely.

Pre-ordered.

The Welcome 1 video, I was thinking if the player had played a FPS before!!!!

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Nice, downloaded all of the videos last night via Torrent, slowly watching each one.

Nothing else to say other than it really does look amazing visually.

Saw a few semi cheesy things, like water on the ground that when you shoot it no splash, but it was nothing that was a deal breaker at all, as I usually do not stop to shoot a little stream of water on the ground anyway.

I just really like the whole vibe and artistic direction of the game. When does it come out again??

February 17th

Sorry for saying it wrong, each video has it's own torrent. They can be found from the very first link Audioboxer provided last night to Gamersyde or however it is spelled.

No release date is confirmed, but February is a certainty, and the 17th is doing the rounds from word of mouth

Hi folks,

I am getting a bunch of complaints about some things in the preview code and just wanted to clear this up for everyone.

Dialogue

The dialogue and voice-acting was not yet final and was placeholder for that build. Has since been improved a hundred times over.

Natko

Natkos face had a shading glitch in that build making him look a little weird and plastic. Has been fixed since.

Grain filter

The grain filter is still there. But the video compression is removing it. Looks better on screen.

Blood Meridian

Blood Merdian has been pulled forward in the level order compared where it was a year ago. As the weather become more violent throughout the game, the level of wind was too much for the second level of the game.

This also has to do with it looking a little more 'blue'.

Sev and Narville's hair

I think this is a truely silly thing to bring up. I think you guys should all post pictures of your haircuts for me to mock :p.

One of the screenshots I have seen of him today make it look a bit strange I agree. The light catches his head and makes it look a little more blond/yellow. Is otherwise just really closely cropped.

[Jimmy0]

Just finished watching all of the videos posted on Gamersyde, and damn this game looks awesome! :D

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Just watched some more of the videos, and why does it always seem like the worse players are playing these games with these preview videos? LOL

Couldn't agree more, the person playing this seems extremely crap at some points. :laugh:

Havn't seen all of the videos yet (yay for throttled 1Meg connection) but from the few I have seen the game looks amazing. I am going to get this game on Day 1.

I am currently downloading Part 2 of the Convoy. :)

Tell me about it, I saw some DiRT priview videos and the person playing the game couldn't go around a corner at more than 10MPH, and when it was a strait bit of track they still managed to crash. :p
